マイルストーンを、開封の瞬間に 新しいジェムの獲得が、ちょっとしたイベントになりました。タップして開封するもよし、スキップしてすぐに輝きを眺めるもよし。ロック中のジェムには達成まであとどれくらいかが表示され、新しい「Skilled」ジェムは、9時から17時までアプリをブロックし続けたごほうびです。 いつも最新のウィジェット 起動制限のウィジェットでは、起動回数を使い切ると「今すぐリセット」が表示されるようになりました。また、ブロックを解除したり、ショートカットからタイマーを開始したりすると、すべてのウィジェットが自動で更新されます。 時間泥棒がひと目でわかる ホームに今日の時間泥棒トップ3が表示されるようになりました。スクリーンタイムにiPadでの使用時間が混ざることもなくなりました。 細かなところも、もっと快適に ブロック画面にカテゴリ全体の1日の回数が表示されるようになり、アプリのアンインストール保護はいつオフにできるかがわかりやすくなりました。スクリーンタイムのリストはタブバーの下までスクロールでき、iPhone DuoでもOpalが正しく表示されます。中国語、ドイツ語、フランス語、ポーランド語の翻訳もより自然になりました。

休んでも、ストリークはそのまま 休暇モードなら、選んだルールを必要なだけ一時停止して、そのあと自動で再開できます。設定、または実行中でないルールから使えます。 ホームがもっと見やすく Opal Score、今日のスクリーンタイム、気が散りやすいアプリが、ホームの上部に並んで表示されるようになりました。 スクリーンタイムを一新 カレンダー付きで生まれ変わったスクリーンタイム画面。日・週・月の切り替えがシンプルになり、カウントしたくないアプリを除外できるようにもなりました。 全体的にもっとスムーズに ルールの画面からブロックを解除しても、元の画面のままです。「Appleでサインイン」で既存のアカウントを復元でき、サブスク登録中の方にはアップグレードの案内が表示されなくなりました。9つの言語で翻訳もより自然になっています。

迷う前に、始めよう 新しい小さいウィジェットなら、「集中しなきゃ」から集中するまで2タップ。「開始」を押して、15分・25分・45分を選ぶだけ。アプリを開く必要も、迷う時間もありません。 サプライズは少なめに 不具合の修正と細かな改善をあちこちに。これでOpalが止めるのは、スクロールだけです。

ホーム画面にルールを 新しいウィジェットで、実行中のルールがひと目でわかります。残り時間も確認でき、タップで開始・停止できます。 Streakのしくみ Streakをタップすると、いまの状況と、続けるために必要なことがわかります。 ブロック画面を自分好みに 「Open Opal」ショートカットをオフにすれば、ブロックしたアプリはブロックされたままになります。

4.8 is all about speed. Opal should open instantly, scroll smoothly, and stay out of your way — so this release went wide on performance, from cold launch to the Home and Stats screens, alongside more reliability and polish across the app. New in 4.8 Speed and performance • An across-the-board speed pass: faster cold launch, smoother Home and Stats scrolling, and broad work to cut lag and battery use Blocking reliability • Optimised Time Limits to be more reliable • Saving a Rule no longer fails for small time periods • Fixed a rare case where, just after you reached a time limit, you could briefly see the "recovery" screen instead of the normal block screen • Starting a timer while an emergency pass is active now explains what will happen Fixes and polish • Improvements to home insight cards (more on the way!) • Fixed an issue that could cause the gemstone to go missing on the Live Activity • Fixed the editing sheet getting partly hidden while renaming a Session New in 4.7 • More reliable background blocking — re-blocks after an unblock, scheduled Rule starts and stops, and time-limit blocks all happen without opening Opal • Fixed a rare case where an already-expired time limit could lock you out again after midnight • "Unblock All" from the Rule card now works during a block-all-except session, and no longer lifts an app held by a reached limit • The unblock Live Activity now has a "Block Again" button • The heads-up notification for time limits is back • Sessions and timers can now run for multiple days, up to 14 days • Fixed a bug where the waiting room could get stuck at 0 • Screen time reports no longer include Family Sharing members' usage What's next, in priority order • A stunning home screen — a better score (including screen time), gems, and recommendations • Keep hardening background blocking so every Rule applies on time, every time, without opening Opal • Making time limits clearer when you reach one, so the unblock option is never misleading • Clearer setup so it's obvious what Opal does, what a Rule is, and how unblocking works After this, we're excited to build much more — Family and School modes, Autofocus for intelligent, timely recommendations and interventions, more incredible timers, and more. We read everything you send us, and it shaped this list directly. Thank you.

4.7 is all about one thing: blocking that fires exactly when it should, 100% of the time, even when Opal is closed. That's the promise of the product, and it's where most of our energy went. New in 4.7 Blocking reliability • More fixes to ensure scheduled blocking applies on time in the background. Re-blocks after an unblock ends, scheduled Rule starts and stops, and time-limit blocks all happen without opening Opal • Opal now detects and repairs OS-level shield issues the old check couldn't see • Fixed a rare case where an already-expired time limit could lock you out again after midnight Unblocking • Fixed a case where "Unblock All" from the Rule card did nothing during a block-all-except session • "Unblock All" no longer wrongly lifts an app held by a reached time limit or a used-up open limit. Those stay blocked • The unblock Live Activity now has a "Block Again" button Limits and timers • Brought back the halfway heads-up notification for time limits • Sessions and timers can now run for multiple days, up to 14 days • Fixed a case where a countdown could get stuck at 0, like the waiting room after reopening Opal Fixes and polish • Fixed the Adult Websites screens getting cut off on Plus-size iPhones • Fixed a case where a paywall could appear when it shouldn't • Screen time reports no longer include Family Sharing members' usage. Many users who had family sharing setup with their partner or kids experienced this issue, which will now be fixed • Faster access to notification settings, a red dot for new support replies, and a smoother handoff to a human in support New in 4.6 • Scheduled blocks and unblocks now apply reliably in the background, so you no longer have to open Opal for them to take effect • Fixed blocking that misfired while your Rules were still reloading • Tap your profile photo to change it • Deleting your last active Rule now warns you before you remove your only protection • "Reset Limit" now appears above "Pause Rule" on active limit Rules • Cleaned up the App Unblocked notification, removed the "Pace yourself" line What's next, in priority order • A stunning home screen - better score (including screen time), gems, and recommendations. • Keep hardening background blocking so every Rule applies on time, every time, without opening Opal • Make timers stunning • Making time limits clearer when you reach one, so the unblock option is never misleading • Clearer onboarding so it's obvious what Opal does, what a Rule is, and how unblocking works After this, we are super excited to build many exciting updates for the product, including Family and School modes, Autofocus to power intelligent timely recommendations and interventions, more incredible timers and more. We read everything you send us, and it shaped this list directly. Thank you.
